South Africa's No 8 Jasper Wiese has been banned for six Tests, including the series against Ireland and two Rugby Championship matches, after receiving a red card in his final Leicester appearance for dropping an opposing player on his head. Despite admitting the charge, Wiese's ban has sparked debate over its severity, as it was deemed a moment of low-intensity clumsiness without malice. The lack of mitigation due to his previous disciplinary record has been criticized, leading to calls for a revision of rugby's sanctions processes for more consistency and fairness.
